Need tutorial I guess

[OuchingMegaSpank]

Anyone direct me to a good tutorial on building a coil around a SS wick. I have an AGA-S I'm working with and I can't get anything but my top loop to glow. I have it connected to negative post while I wrap it around wick. Too tight? Did I over cook my wire before I wrapped it? What? Help?

It actually looks good from what I can see though. You may just need to keep pulsing to get the rest of the coils to glow. Also take a toothpick or something and give each coil a wiggle. Then power on again. You may want to repeat that a bit until they start working.

Dude my first Genesis style tank was the AGA S. No matter what I did, mine did not work. I got to the point that I could wrap a good coil in my sleep and the thing still didn't work. They are crap to me. Your setup would probably work in a Smoktech RSST or AGA T.

That stupid AGA S gave me the biggest frustration I have ever felt in learning how to set up a genesis. I still have mine collecting dust somewhere.
